Me, age 8, watching Star Wars: Okay. So. The Republic are the good guys. But in real life, Republicans are the bad guys. But the US is a republic, so that makes… Republics… good?
Me, age 30, still watching Star Wars: So Republicans have spent decades actively undermining the Republic, which is good. That’s a confusing nomenclature, but I think I get it. Republics good. Republicans bad. Except for the People’s Republic of China. Or the Democratic Republic of Congo. Or the United States… wait who are the good guys again?
